* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Even with a PG audience and toned-down violence, the show doesn't shy away from the fact that Terry's job as a bounty hunter not only keeps him away from his family for extended periods of time, but is also ''very dangerous'' as he's regularly risking his wellbeing fighting malicious criminals who are more than happy to maim him to keep their freedom. Terry's armour helps protect him from the worst of the damage, such as getting attacked by a knife at Bucky's, but it's not a catch-all protective. [[spoiler:As Terry recounts in the season one finale, even when he ''did'' manage to show up for one of Lisa's plays, he was left badly injured and visibly bleeding from his patched injuries, shown onscreen, and Tess all but says outright that they separated in part because she was afraid Terry would be killed eventually on one of his jobs]].
